Michael and I were on the move again this weekend. We left work early on Friday and went camping at the Valley of Fire.

It had to be the most amazing place we have been camping. The deep red sandstone formations jetting out of the ground are truly breathtaking. Our campsite was tucked into a small sandstone formation and we were surrounded by these dunes filled with wind blown caves and holes.

We met our neighbors Saturday afternoon and ended up partying with them around their campfire until the early hours of the morning. As it turned out they are two artist from different states that meet in the past at an art show. They have been planning this trip for some time now. They were very interesting guys, and they even have web sites I can share

Kris Sacksteder, (Weird Woods) is from Seattle and he has been selling his wood art at Pike Place Market, a place I have been to several times now, and he’s been there for 20 years. I can’t wait until the next time I am there to say hi, and see his wood work!

David Gibson, (David Gibson Ceramics) is from Salt Lake City, soon to be Sante Fe. I was very fascinated at hearing him tell how he creates his wheel-thrown Raku fired pottery, and it’s so beautiful! We will definately be visiting his new studio he is building in Sante Fe, New Mexico.

As always…Valley of Fire pictures can be seen in the Just Julie’s Photo Gallery. ENJOY!

On this day..
